No, not at all. If you have a Motorolla phone, you can use the app to work with the Motoactv but it is not necessary. I sync mine over wifi and all my workout data is available on the web page instantly.

Hello, no you must have a phone attached. Think of the unit as basically a Bluetooth speaker with a clock.

This device does not have App. There is not network connection capabilities on it. You can use Bluetooth to pair to your phone and that's it.

It does require a smart phone to work (iPhone, iPod touch, or Android device). The smart phone goes inside a pocket and the screen of the phone becomes Ubooly's face.

Yes, provided your phone supports the feature (e.g. Apple's Siri, or Samsung S-Voice). You need an internet connection for those services, though.

Not unless you want to use it when you don't have WiFi access. Just use your phone as a hotspot if you can and connect to it that way.

Regardless of what phone you get if you want to use any internet you will need a 3g/4g plan unless you are around a wifi-hotspot. If your asking if its required to have a internet plan then no. Some carriers tend to say it is a requirement if you own a smartphone but that is not true. The phone should not allow you to connect online on their network without a internet plan don't let them fool you its a sales tactic.

Yes, it can be used without a smartphone. The muse has to be connected to your computer to place in your mp3 files and you are good to go.

Yes, you could use it for a smartphone. But it's really meant for larger devices such as e-readers or tablets.

Yes, you need something connected to it that can run the software: an iPad, iPhone, or Android phone. The software is free at the relevant App Store, so you can get a sense of the features, which differ slightly between iOS/Android platforms.
